Mediterranean · Maidstone
Turkish and Middle Eastern cooking gives children plenty of easy wins — warm flatbread, grilled meats off the skewer, rice and dips they can pick at — and there's a proper kids' menu if yours would rather stick to something familiar. High chairs are available and the step-free entrance means you're not lifting a buggy over anything on the way in. Gluten-free options are on offer, so an allergy in the family doesn't rule it out. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one, which is good news if your toddler is having a loud day, and there's outdoor seating when the weather allows. Worth booking ahead.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
